Nettlejuice Herbals | Application Preview
Nettlejuice Herbals is seeking government grants to construct a small facility dedicated to processing honey and herbal medicine, and to serve as a classroom for herbal education. The new space will enable the business to expand its offerings, allowing for more classes, product processing for local sales, and in-person client consultations.
The owner, a trained clinical herbalist, emphasizes a commitment to providing high-quality, locally sourced herbal medicine. This woman-owned business aims to educate the community about using natural medicine while also conducting individual consultations. Securing this funding is seen as crucial for reaching a wider audience.
In terms of competition, Arete is noted as the primary local competitor, with both businesses offering herbal products and education. However, Nettlejuice Herbals stands out by providing clinical services and advanced medicine-making classes. The plan to incorporate honey production with herbal preparations further differentiates the business, as it will focus on creating medicinal products rather than just selling honey.

Business Plan
A new space will allow me to hold more classes, process products for sale to the local community, and see clients in person. I am a small, woman-owned business guided by a vision to make sustainable herbal medicine available to the local community. I am trained as a clinical herbalist and herbal medicine maker and offer high-quality, locally produced herbal medicine. In addition, I teach people how to use the medicine growing around them and offer one-on-one consultations. Having a dedicated space for these activities will help me serve a broader community.

Self Identified Competition
I suppose Arete is my closest local competition, as they both sell herbal products and offer education. Local honey producers, such as swarmbustin and stallalou sell honey. I am unique in that I offer clinical services and teach advanced medicine making. Once I get honey production going, I will largely be combining the honey with herbs to make medicinal products rather than selling honey alone.
